Keynote is over, and I have to say, the iPhone 5 is disappointing.

Every single rumor was true. No big surprises. Just wideband audio and an A6 processor which doesn't seem to be quad-core. No NFC.

The big features are...panorama mode. Great.
 
Its already covering iTunes... no going back to the iPhone now. Would have been capitalized in their Ads..
 
Since I don't have LTE it doesn't do much for me. Biggest thing I'd be excited about is the connector(Thunderbolt!!) and screen. But that's not enough to get me to upgrade in the middle of my contract. I'll just wait for the 5S. If I had LTE in my area though I would be buying it.

I still hate the two tone back.
 
DEF not disappointed. All the leaks were correct. The iPhone 5 feels complete now.

I'm fine with the design and look of the phone. It's the features I feel are lacking a little...

I agree, I mean panoramic? I have had a panoramic app for about 2 years. WP8 is looking better than ever IMO

It is a sexy looking phone though
 
doesnt suprise me calidude started this already ;)


yeah i was a little dissapointed my self.. wish i knew if it was a quadcore or not.
i really wanted NFC too :/
 
actually im not disappointed. i wanted more mindblowing things, but damn that battery upgrade is why i want it! (also speed)
 
Is the battery life really an upgrade when its the same 8 hours talk time?
 
The new iPhone was worth it for me. I mean what more can you ask from a phone? Improved screen, improved radio (LTE now available ), superb battery life, thinnest phone, Aluminum back (except at the top and bottom), a new A6 chip that offers twice the performance of the A5 chip, better AR, oh and did I mention native iOS 6 support.

1. The specs of the A6 or any A-class SoC are never revealed. Its after teardown that we know for sure.

2. Keynote isn't over yet.

1) If it were quad-core, they would have said quad-core. Apple will never pass up that marketing.

2) There's not going to be a one-more-thing for iPhone. The shipping dates and pricing have been shown. It's over, Johnny.

Give the poll some time.

The problem with making a poll right after a keynote is lots of people are disappointed due to unrealistic expectations (regardless of what iPhone it is) but they feel different after they sleep on it. A poll taken a few months from now would yield a much different result.
 
I've had the iPhone 4 since it came out over two years ago, so this is an amazing upgrade for me. And my area just got LTE coverage...so yeah.

no what i mean to say was to generalize. No company can ever satisfy its customers or potential customers its always 50-50 people either hate it or they love it.

Apple has.. with the iPhone 4.. took on the majority by storm. Relative to other keynotes, this one appears more low tune.. for the iPhone at least. Im sure the non-iPhone part is going to be the exciting part.
 
I'm am excited about the A6, thinner glass (better touch) and the increased color saturation.
 
watched the original iphone video earlier today with jobs saying how their phone is 5 years ahead of anything out at the time. iphone 5 is probably 2-3 years behind android at this point...
